  • 01 900 g chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats

→ Marinade

  • 02 120 ml pineapple juice
  • 03 60 ml soy sauce
  • 04 55 g brown sugar
  • 05 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 06 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

→ Sauce

  • 07 60 ml pineapple chunks
  • 08 8 g cornstarch
  • 09 30 ml water
  • 10 Salt, to taste
  • 11 Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 02

In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until sugar is dissolved.

Step 03

Add chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring even coating. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 04

Arrange marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and skin is golden.

Step 05

While chicken bakes, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, forming a smooth slurry.

Step 06

Transfer the remaining marinade to a saucepan over medium heat. Add pineapple chunks and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens.

Step 07

Remove wings from oven. Transfer to a serving bowl and toss thoroughly with the warm pineapple sauce. Serve immediately, garnished as desired.

Notes

  • For maximized flavor, marinate chicken wings overnight in the refrigerated marinade.
